Alexander Comyn (1218-1289) was the Justiciar of Scotland from 1258 to 1289, Constable of Scotland from 1275 to 1289 and the Guardian of Scotland from 1286 to 1289. A member of the Scots-Norman Clan Comyn (Cumming), Comyn was influential in politics and served as regent after the death of King Alexander III of Scotland.

Biography
Comyn was from Buchan in Scotland, the son of William Comyn and Countess Marjory of Buchan. From a Scoto-Norman ancestral family, he was a very influential man in politics. Although without chivalry, he understood the chain of command (but knew little what orders to give) and was a promising commander with talent. He was also a smart man, knowing a trifle of management.

Comyn was the govenror of Aberdeen from 1258 to 1289 under King Alexander III of Scotland, and after the king's death in 1286, he served as Guardian of Scotland for three years until his death in 1289.
